I'm confused. I tried posting this on ccf and then ebay and did not even get one bid. Am I asking too much? I figure it to be at least MS63...

getting "page not found" with your link. link is working now.
The price is not a problem. Not sure of other reasons, but I simply didn't need the coin for my collection.

EDIT - updated link

The link did not lead to your auction so the price offered is not known.

I see the link fine.

Price is fair, but TPG PCGS and NGC 63's have all sold for $19-30 recently. Think your price is fair, I'd start with a .99 start price no reserve, bullion buyers are over paying often it seems.

You need to get silver in the title, it's in the top 5 searched terms in the coins category.

As Bobby said, you need to get silver in the title, and then price it accordingly, to attract bullion hunters. Those two parallel bag marks are in a very unfortunate position and may be keeping numismatic buyers away. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's probably why you're selling this example in the first place.

Actually
Why I'm selling this coin is because my family needs $$. And its the first coin of my almost completed series...I tried outing the entire book for sale and it didn't sell. So now I'm trying to do every individual coin hoping I can appeal to more than one buyer. So, I would hope the rest of my coins aren't this bad... Wake up call I guess

Nice coin and reasonably priced....you can try and drop the price a buck and re-list. (or keep it at $20 but add free shipping)

They seem to sell in the $19-20 range (shipping included)

Definitely add "silver" to the title

If you shipped to other countries, it may help to sell.

I agree with adding silver to the title and I would consider changing the photos before dropping the price (or maybe starting at $19.99). I looked at the sold ones and the nice, pretty shiny pictures of fuglies went over $20 where well struck coins with so-so photos went for less. Do a quick search and you will see what I mean.

EDIT: I meant for posting in ebay. It might have been there is no one looking on CCF right now.

It's a pretty coin and your price is right on.
It's close to fbl (which you could add to the description if you haven't already) but those two hits at the tip on the nose are a real shame.

My guess is that's the reason no one has hit. It's a common date with notoriously strong strikes, so those little boogies probably turn folks off.

I think HONDO hit the nail on the head. Plus your description/listing could use some tweaking.

I got one for 16 from my dealer before. But he passed away now though. (different one)

I need to post what mine looks like anyway. I don't know the grade, never had it wrote down.

Coinskelly can you give me some examples of the "shiny" ones that sold better?. I took some pics of mine with different lighting but it seemed to bring out more blemishes
